Music :: Albums

Albums made with various software and hardware. You don't need any special software to listen these.

1-bit or 'beeper' music for ZX Spectrum 48K. This computer has simplest possible sound device - just a speaker connected to single bit of an output port. All the sound synthesis is done in software, sound quality and features are depends from a player. To make the music I have used Beepola with different players. Use AY Emulator to listen.

AY-3-8910 or compatible YM2149F sound chips were used in many systems, including ZX Spectrum 128, MSX, Amstrad CPC. First I have used Sound Tracker, later Pro Tracker 3, currently I'm using Vortex Tracker II. Use AY Emulator to listen.

TurboSound (TS for short) is a sound device for ZX Spectrum that adds second AY-3-8910 sound chip. The music was made with Vortex Tracker II. First four tracks were made before TS support in any editors. All of my TS tracks are cover versions, almost all also covers of music from console games. Use AY Emulator v2.9b2 or newer to listen.

OPL2 (YM3812) is a FM synth sound chip that was used in AdLib and Sound Blaster sound cards. None of modern sound cards use these chips. The music was made with Reality Adlib Tracker. Use AdPlug plugin/player or real hardware (very old PC with OPL2-compatible sound card) to listen.

All the music was made with Cakewalk 6.0. Almost all of it, except for latest cover versions, was designed for Creative Sound Blaster AWE32, so unfortunately it may sounds not well with other sound cards. Use any player with MIDI support to listen (Windows Media or Winamp, for example).

The music was made with Fast Tracker II, Skale tracker, and MilkyTracker. I mostly use samples (instruments) from other's music or sample collections, and rarely make my own samples. Use XMPlay or another good player to listen.
